The Possessed Hatchet is an endgame melee weapon that, when thrown, will follow an enemy and attack it once, then return to the player. In terms of functionality, it is a fast, axe-shaped boomerang that will follow targets until it hits.
Its homing property lets it hit enemies outside of its usual throwing range (often even off-screen), making it useful for bosses that tend to evade the player's attack. It is also incredibly useful for targeting monsters from behind cover, for instance throwing it vertically from the other side of a wall. However, it will not chase players in PvP, like all homing projectiles. The best prefix for this weapon is Godly since its size cannot be modified.
